Pros & Cons
Pros & Cons
- With the Shimano XT 1x12-speed drivetrain, you will always enjoy smooth and rapid gear changes, even under heavy load on the trails.
- The RockShox Recon Silver air suspension fork, with 100 mm of travel and a lock-out lever on the handlebars, efficiently absorbs shocks from tree roots and potholes.
- Thanks to the powerful Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes, you will always come to a safe and controlled stop, whatever the weather.
- The lightweight Newmen Performance 30 wheelset is tubeless-ready, making it easy to switch to a tubeless setup with better grip and puncture protection.
- Although the bike comes with flat plastic pedals, we recommend ordering higher-quality MTB pedals straight away if you intend to use the bike for challenging off-road riding.

The Cube Reaction SLX is a fantastic aluminium hardtail mountain bike for keen beginners as well as advanced mountain bikers. Whether you want to tear up the singletracks in your area or simply ride at a good pace along unpaved trails, this bike more than holds its own. The Aluminium Lite frame is nice and stiff yet forgiving, meaning every pedal stroke counts while also allowing for the odd steering mistake.
Thanks to Cube’s clever Size Split system, you will get a bike that is proportionate to your height. If you choose a size XS or S, you will be riding on agile 27.5 inch wheels. Sizes M and up are fitted with efficient 29 inch wheels that roll over obstacles super easily.

Aluminium Lite frame with a sleek finish
The double-butted aluminium frame keeps the Reaction's weight down to 13.3 kg without compromising on strength or stiffness. The cables are routed internally via the headset. Not only does this look incredibly neat but it also perfectly protects your gear and brake cables from mud, rainwater and branches.
RockShox Recon Silver RL Air fork
Using a shock pump, you can easily customise the air suspension fork to suit your body weight so you always get exactly the right level of damping. Are you riding on a tarmac cycle path or tackling a steep climb? Use the OneLoc lock-out lever on the handlebars to lock the suspension so you don’t waste any energy due to the fork compressing.

• After a muddy ride, give your Shimano XT chain and cassette a thorough clean and apply fresh lube or wax as required. This will significantly extend the life of your drivetrain.
